Identifying and coordinating eligible funding programs beyond the CAS stream, where applicable.
Summerside sits within the CBDC Central PEI service area, a region historically shaped by agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and aerospace and bioscience. Businesses here often face the same growth constraints — access to capital, limited internal bandwidth for strategic planning, and the need for outside expertise to validate decisions before committing resources.
Advisory funding for Summerside is administered locally through CBDC Central PEI, part of the Atlantic Canada CBDC network funded by ACOA.
No. The Consulting Advisory Services program is a fee-reimbursement grant, not a loan. Eligible businesses in Summerside are reimbursed up to 75% of approved consultant fees (capped at $5,000, HST excluded) — there is nothing to repay.
The program is funded by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and administered locally through CBDC Central PEI. Business Crafters 3.0 is an independent consulting firm; we are not the funding administrator, and final approval rests with CBDC Central PEI.
This program is generally limited to existing, operating businesses. Startups are not eligible under the default CAS rules that apply across the Central PEI network.
No consulting firm can guarantee funding approval. We help Summerside businesses prepare a strong, complete application, but eligibility and final decisions are made by the program administrator.
Eligible engagements typically include business planning, financial advisory, marketing strategy, operational improvement, and digital transformation projects — the type of structured advisory work Business Crafters 3.0 provides.
